Reflections on Small Molecule Manganese Models that Seek to Mimic Photosynthetic Water Oxidation Chemistry

TL;DR: Recent advances in the study of the Oxygen Evolving Complex (OEC) of Photosystem II (PSII) include structural information attained from several X-ray crystallographic and spectroscopic investigations that offer better insight into the possible pathways used by PSII to drive photosynthetic water oxidation catalysis.

Efficient Oxidative Dechlorination and Aromatic Ring Cleavage of Chlorinated Phenols Catalyzed by Iron Sulfophthalocyanine

TL;DR: This chemical system, consisting of an environmentally safe oxidant (H2O2) and an easily accessible catalyst (FePcS), can perform several key steps in the oxidative mineralization of TCP, a paradigm of recalcitrant pollutants.

Two-state reactivity mechanisms of hydroxylation and epoxidation by cytochrome P-450 revealed by theory.

TL;DR: TSR is used to reconcile the dilemma of the consensus 'rebound mechanism' of alkane hydroxylation, which emerged from experimental studies of ultra-fast radical clocks.

Selective C–H oxidation catalyzed by metalloporphyrins

TL;DR: Metalloporphyrins based on iron, manganese and ruthenium constitute a unique family of catalysts capable of generating highly reactive, but at the same time highly selective oxidants, thus mediating selective oxidations of saturated C-H bonds as discussed by the authors.
